Izzy my friend it's lovely to see you work and blast those bricks up as you say. Shame about the trowel I didn't realise that there was so many different trowels. Great video music to match thanks
Had a narrow London trowel from an unknown manufacture break exactly like your one . I was cutting off mortar when it broke . I welded it back together and I’d am using it again .
@@IzzytheBricky I had another one ,I lost it during the summer it was one piece forged plastic handle around 9 inch’s narrow London no makers mark on it .I got it in the states f- - k n beauty I’m still like a you no what’s it over it . Good welder will have that trowel sorted in a half hour
So, lesson learned for you. Don't cut brick with your trowel. Use the brick hammer. You can attach a little loop to your belt to hold the hammer. believe me it is very useful and convenient especially when you are in an area where cuts are required. I began my career with a WH Smith, moved on to Kaizak( I think that's the name) then Marshalltown and absolutely landed the creme de la creme of trowels with a W Rose, 12 inch thin Philadelphia style brick trowel. Do yourself and your wrist a long-lasting favor and get the Rose Izzy. best of luck.
W.rose are made from excellent materials but are all over the shop regarding the quality of the finished product . If your buying one buy in person never online . Handle angles in relation to blade all over the shop very un uniform.
10" Ragni Philly. Marshalltown went down hill after they started making their trowels from cheap Chinese steel. Laugh all you like at Ragnis (and I used to) but they're lighter and more durable than today's Marshalltowns.
As a kid I used to mix the muck up , 3 or 4 to one depending on the job, bucket though to keep the colour the same, waiting for the compo, luxury mate😂
with regards to trowels mate have you tried Ox? I always swore by marshall town 12 inch philly. I tried Ox 11 london and man I will not go back. Only issue rubber stopper comes off handle but stick it back on. I have gone through Bon and the low lift W Rose, didn't like either so for me after 37 years OX 11 london. Also it is true the size of trowel not as important as the man using it.
@dogexcrement6991 hiya sorry didn't get back to you. No actually. As the facia and soffit are already on. It's extremely impossible to actually do the tip of the gable without playing a game of tetris at the top. There's a 50mm gap between the brickwork and facia. So imagine trying to get a 100mm brick in that gap. With fire socks behind. Timber ladders in the way. And making sure you don't push over your work squeezing the bricks in place. Yes they are all over the shop, your very right...but it can't be helped. If the facia and soffit wasn't on, it'll be mint. Unfortunately having to work around so much and maintaining some sort of quality is actually impossible in this case. If you were on the job, you'd understand. P.s. we're not allowed to take the facia or soffit off. Have a great weekend dude!
i calls them wendy houses lol , the first ones that were built in 00;s have loads of problems, bendy sofits etc, wood moves sesson to season, bricks dont, quite simple when u think about it . have u ever built a steel frame? we did some for barrats years ago, basicaly the internal walls are made on 2mmx20 mm L shape steel holding celotex self tapping wall tie screws , total load of shyt . I always think of the 3 little pigs and the wolf huffing n puffing and blowing the house down lol Traditional builds all the way, much better. , marshall town 1912. soon becomes a 11" )
Subbed and seen 30+ of your vids so far. Bricky from the US here. Mu conclusion is this. You got the chops but your UK scaffolding SUX! We used 6' frames with outriggings that could be raised to half way up the frame. No working down at our feet or head high, in my opinion, leads to greater daily productivity. 700-800/day is the standard. Ain't hatin'. Just sayin. be blessed y'all. Yashua Rules!
@Mohamedbaconpolice1234 Yo Mo. You're missing the point dude. I suggest you reread my post. The scaffolding is cumbersome and inefficient. PS. You're most likely grossly exaggerating your units/day totals.
I loathe timber frame much prefer traditional brick and block as a ex bricklayer I live paphos in a village called Kissonager 25 minutes from Kato Paphos regards Howard from Cyprus 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
I spent three and a half months in Silikou building with stone most of which came from the local tip, hillside,All My corner stones came ready cut, I really enjoyed my time there 🍺 KEO is good so are the people 😊
They are terrible! Yes I know kissonager very well! I used to live in kili, just up from Kamares village! I bet you've probably been to Vathouthlica then? Haha All the best mate
I’ve no idea why you left all the cuts on the gable till last instead of doing them as you go . Oh yes I do , it’s called inexperience You’ll learn , maybe And you cut a brick with a brick hammer not a trowel Just so you know 😊
Always cut bricks with a Trowel, just must have been a defective blade. Also alot faster doing cuts in one go and laying them all, rather than the other way I've found ☺️ Hope your well buddy and having a good week 😊
@@IzzytheBrickybuddy isn’t a true watcher, just a hater. Clearly hasn’t seen the video before when u are working till dark to get as much done as possible, and use up the mud. run some some of the money bricks and just rack it back till morning. I know I don’t have time to make all those angles and cuts at sundown. Keep it up Izzy. Only tip from a fellow journey man Mason to another is if I had to say one thing it would is the extra time spent furrowing the mud is actually just a waste of time and the quadruple flick head joint. For one it makes your perps too big over time and if you have a good spread you’ll get a full bed joint when you press it down regardless. With those 2 things I myself became a much quicker mason down the line.
Izzy my friend it's lovely to see you work and blast those bricks up as you say. Shame about the trowel I didn't realise that there was so many different trowels. Great video music to match thanks
Thank you very much Nigel! Always appreciate your comment 😊
Nice Stallion at the end! I bet Jake is a stallion lol 😅
Another productive day 👏🏻👏🏻

Lovely work as usual, I find watching you extremely relaxing, just please make the videos a little longer 👍
@pauladventure thanks so much mate! I've got a few longer vids coming soon!

@@brickbybric haha might get DREW to weld it back together. I've been using a 10" London today and it's the best trowel I've used in years

Is what your doing spec?
Хорошая работа

Ox Pro Brick Trowel Philadelphia pattern 11 inch apparently, number 1 in a top ten, Im a pro decorator so wouldn't have a clue lol
Hi Izzy I'm sure if you ask Charlie Collision nicely he'll fix you up with a trowel to best suit you.
No hardhat ?, loosing a trowel, like using ya friend, now you got to brake in new one
Would not touch timber frames unless work was short
My dad always used W H S trowels, Work Hard and Starve as he used to say
@@Schinney yes mate!

Good evening izzy another good video shame about your trowel
When is the next video of the chimney breast see you soon simon
3:15 your perps are all over the place. You may have been in a rush but you normally do better than that.
At the top of the gable there?
Yes, I assume your cuts were too big/small which messed it up.

Cut the big 12 inch trowl to any sixe you want. Problem solved
or just use it , ull be used to it by the end of the day and within a year it will be the perfect trowl customised for you,)
I noticed that you do like your muck on the stiff side, this along with the bigger trowel will end up with tennis elbow and honestly you dont want it
Another lintel not propped😂
10 inchs trowel..... longer will put some wear on your wirst for nothing.....bigger is not faster

Complete understand why you wouldn't build a timber frame for yourself...but would love to hear why you wouldn't buy one to live in ???
Bricks....
